Kestrels seem to have actually become better now after his patch!! With bloodclaw missiles I usually do over 100dmg per hit!! and with 4 standard launchers firing like crazy, I do almost as much damage as my caracal with 5 heavy launchers previously did using heavy missiles!! Woaah! nice!! Kestrels are now uber frigate hunters!! Very little reloading now too!

Well, since I find a MWD a must on a kestrel, what would be better to do with it, Shield tank, or Armor tank?

*rubs his hands together*
This is exactly why I bought light missile BPO's before the patch.
Don't mind me I'm just making suasages! |

It seems though that, rocket launchers do more damage then light misiles, just a shorter range, but thats ok, cuz i get in at 5km-1km usually with my MWD.

Use one 10 mn ab and and one 1 mn ab II, this will speed up your kestrel to 1,4 km/s without the penalti of signatur radius.
Then Oribt at 20 km and launch missiles (nps dont hit with guns at this speed and range), killed serpentis pirats up to 75k bounty this way.

It's also v. fun to take out four rocketlaunchers and load with foxfires, and then spam the target into oblivion. The 10km range and limited maneuverability of rockets is a problem, though, but reloading can be almost four times faster than with std. launchers.

Well, if your opponent is armor or shield thanks against kenetic damage your bloodclaw missils wont work. So the kenetic missil bonus is only making you predictable.
"There's a caldari missil ship boys, up with the kenetic hardenerds and kill him"
So all caldari frigg and cruiser missil ships is more predictable than any other race ship.
I thought we caldari used all types of missils not just kenetic.

Kestrals are lovely little ships, I fly nothing but em for pvp, killed a taranis the other day and got a raptor this morning, as well as hurting a stilletto and ares bad. I like to use...
His: 4 Standards- Bloodclaws (frig vs. frig you can't waste time reloading so these are the best option)
Med: 1MN MWD Warp Scrambler/Disrupter Stasis Web
Los: 2 Cap Relays
Ideally I'd have a micro aux in there and use 10MN AB, but my cap skills aren't ideal yet. Be warned though you do need to be a competant pilot to handle these things right... and well I ain't telling you my little secret to victory I like to use.

Pretty amazing how all the little changes (ship bonus, ballistic controls, missile changes) add up so nicely for Cal ships. Kestrel is just awesome now. I don't even bother with my interceptor.

Well first I said Raptor so it seems your incapabe of reading, but anyway, as I said my cap skills aren't pefect YET (yes I am getting them up right after interceptors) and also any idea how much that costs? My setup I lose a kestral I make profit, and in my business theres a good chance of that happening, whack the ABs and micro-aux you've got a frig costing 1 mil :/
And also it's not all about set up, it's about player skill, thats the trick, any fool who orbits at twenty or whatever will be killed before long, there is a lot more to it than that.
